Does the Deep State Exist?
Details
Join QL (in its speaker event for LPQC) to hear Dr. Philip Schoenberg speak June 10 on the topic of "Does the Deep State Exist?," at OBA Grill on 104-02 Metropolitan Ave at noon (note, Luster's talk on geopolitics has been postponed until July 8). This address will follow the monthly business session, covering Queens LP housekeeping and subcommittee updates.
Schoenberg believes "The Deep State does exist, but not in the way you think." Dr. Philip Ernest Schoenberg, who has been a life-long skeptic of the deep, now realizes it does exist. He will show how the deep state manifested in the earliest days of President George Washington administration to the present. Schoenberg will speak 45 minutes, followed by discussion.
Schoenberg has further clarified his comments:
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, “The deep state is defined as “a body of people, typically influential members of government agencies or the military, believed to be involved in the secret manipulation or control of government policy.” However, this definition is not complete. The deep state consists of forces that promote injustice by being blind to what is right because the end justifies the means. We will take a trip through American history from the Founding Fathers to the present.
The Deep State is part of belief in a conspiracy theory in which anything that supports what he or she believes in no matter how doubtful, imaginary, and tenuous while anything that does challenges this belief no matter how grounded in evidence, reality, science, and truth. The US is the leader in conspiracies like so many else good and bad.
In our survey of the American history of the Deep State, Donald Trump is the epitome of the Deep State. While promising to demolish the Deep State, he has enhanced it. Any person or institution is part of the Deep State. Trump is no victim of the Deep State; he is the Deep State.
